Symptoms

There are cases in which the Exchange Server Information Store stops, databases get corrupted, or the server’s file permanent protection detects viruses in databases or in the Exchange server temporary files.

These incidents usually occur because the file permanent protection installed on the server interferes with the Exchange server components.

Solution

To prevent this from occurring, some folders must be excluded from the scans performed by the file antivirus protection installed on the server. In order to know the recommended exclusions, access the following links:

Access the computer on which the Panda AdminSecure console is installed.

Open the console. To do this, click Start ->Programs ->Panda AdminSecure ->AdminSecure Console.

The administration console opens.

The modules that can be protected are displayed in the tree on the left.

Select the Windows server on which you want to configure the permanent antivirus protection by right-clicking it and selecting Edit settings… If that element is inheriting the settings from another element higher up in the hierarchy, a message is displayed asking for confirmation to modify the settings.

Several tabs are displayed. Select What to scan:

Click Files to scan to configure the permanent scan.

Items to be excluded from the scan:

Don't exclude any item from the scan.

If you select Exclude the following items, you must specify the folders, files and extensions to be excluded from the scan.

NOTE 1: If the Exchange server is installed on Windows 2000 SBS Server or if POP3 connectors are used, the following exclusions must also be done:
